I think the problem is this part right here, Phatboy:
quote:
...through impartation of the Spirit and through corroboration with His words...
You can find some sort of justification for just about any crime you might ever conceive of if you only claim that the "holy spirit" told you to do it. Finding a bible verse to back you up shouldn't be too difficult even if you've never opened the "good book" before. It'll be in there
somewhere.
I can't remember for certain which of Shakespeare's characters it was who said "the devil can cite scripture to his purpose", but I think all Christians should heed the comment because it's quite true.
This is what I see as the essential difference in liberal and conservative Christianity. One group desperately needs the literal words of the bible in order to justify its faith while the other does not.
